Top 10 Laughable Moments

Below is a list of the top 10 things that made me laugh during this whole ordeal. Some I was awake for and others I was told about. They may not seem funny to all but now that the worst is over we can look back and laugh.


# 10. Med student diagnosis:
The Med Student started off by saying how nervous he was. So what did I do to make him more comfortable...started puking.  My parents and Joe didn't make things any easier on him by staring at him while he was trying to interview me.

# 9. Joe's rally beard:
Joe didn't shave once during my hospital stay and grew what he called my rally beard. I love him for the thought but at the end of three weeks, it looked horrible. It was patchy and hid his cute baby face.

# 8. What Month is it?"
Part of the daily routine was for the Dr's to come in and test my mental status.  They asked me basic questions like "what day is it", or "what city are you in." Well, I guess I got a little annoyed and when they asked me what month it was I responded, "Ugh! April!" Guess April is my favorite month??? (it was January)

# 7. Where are they?:
We slept in after a rough night and when my parents and Jenny weren't there when I woke up I freaked out thinking they died from carbon monoxide poisoning. They were not answering their cell phones... I was freaking out! Turns out they were getting coffee in the cafeteria and just didn't have cell phone service. They said they were at my room but I was sleeping. My dad bought a carbon monoxide alarm that day for the apartment!

# 6. The fall:
While holding an iPad and navigating the obstacles of the hospital room Jenny's Ugg boot suctioned to the floor and she went down. Miraculously she saved the iPad with what looked like an Olympic gymnastic move.  To top it off the nurses thought I went down and came rushing in to find it was Jenny that went down.

# 5. Sharing Livers:
Wasn't funny at the time but now that we look back we are laughing about my parents asking the Dr's if they can each donate half of their livers to make a whole liver for me. My mom doesn't think it's funny but I can just imagine the look on the Dr's face.

# 4. You want me to help?:
Joe gets freaked out at the sight or even thought of getting blood drawn. While taking 21 vial of blood, they handed Joe a full vial and asked him to wrap a sticker around it since it had to be hidden from light. The look on Joe's face was priceless. Let's just say that he is no longer freaked about blood.

# 3. Does that come with a tummy tuck?:
A surgeon came to visit and my first question for him was "Are you good." Once he replied "The Best", I asked him if he could throw in a tummy tuck while he's at it. He laughed and said "Uhhh...No!"

# 2. The surgeon with no eyes:
So, one of the side effects of drugs I was on is hallucinations.  I obviously experienced this side effect because when I woke up from surgery, I asked Joe how the surgeon operated on me with no eyes. Apparently I hallucinated that my surgeon had his eyes taped shut with slits cut so he could see.

# 1. She's a "Runner":
I was labeled as a "runner". After a CT scan I was waiting for transport to take me back to my room and was not feeling good and pissed. I was going to throw up and told Joe just to wheel me back to my room. We were halfway down the hall when the tech came running after us and told us we broke hospital policy. After that I lost my wheelchair privileges and was transported in my hospital bed.
